I. Proposal
County of Madera — Fairmead Landfill is proposing to install a 45 MMBtu/hr landfill gas (LFG) fired flare to replace the existing 33.33 MMBtu/hr LFG-fired flare, retain the 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare as backup. In addition, the applicant is proposing to install additional landfill gas extraction wells. Over time, the LFG generation zone "migrates" throughout the landfill thus requiring the collection system to be expanded to areas of a landfill that are expected to have elevated concentration of gas. Because the maximum LFG flowrate used to design and size the gas collection system is incorporated into the air permit, and the potential emissions from the LFG collection and control system are based on this permitted maximum LFG flowrate, the permitted maximum LFG flowrate will remain the same with the addition of landfill gas extraction wells.
The facility currently has non-methane organic compound (NMOC) emissions below 50 Mg/year. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW Section 60.752(b)(iii)(B) requires the control system to be designed and operated to reduce NMOC by 98 weight-percent, or, when an enclosed combustion device is used for control, to either reduce NMOC by 98 weight percent or reduce the outlet NMOC concentration to less than 20 parts per million by volume, dry basis as hexane at 3% oxygen. Although the landfill is not yet subject to Subpart VVWW, the applicant has proposed a flare system with a VOC destruction efficiency of 98% by weight which will be source tested upon startup.
The facility has proposed to perform annual NMOC emissions for the landfill to determine Subpart VVVVVV applicability.
Fairmead Landfill has received their Title V Permit. This modification can be classified as a Title V minor modification pursuant to Rule 2520, and can be processed with a Certificate of Conformity (COC). Since the facility has specifically requested that this project be processed in that manner, the 45-day EPA comment period will be satisfied

County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
prior to the issuance of the Authority to Construct permit. Fairmead Landfill must apply to administratively amend their Title V permit.

VI. Emission Control Technology Evaluation
As part of the landfill design, Fairmead Landfill has included a horizontal gas collection system as part of the bottom liner system. These were installed at the same time as each module of the expansion area of the landfill is constructed. As the waste in the expansion landfill area ages, it is the deepest waste that will begin to generate appreciable quantities of landfill gas first. As such, the bottom layer gas collection system will be able to intercept this gas.
As each additional module of the expansion area is approved for construction, a similar landfill gas collection component will be included. Each horizontal collection pipe in the
3
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
landfill will be connected to vertical riser pipe(s), which will appear above ground near the edge of the landfill.
A valve, sample port, and wellhead assembly has been installed on each riser pipe to allow collection of gas, testing, and control of landfill gas flow and vacuum for the collector. When the collection system is actuated, the landfill gas is drawn from the collection piping using a landfill gas blower and routed to the current landfill gas capture and control system which is currently controlled with a 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare for VOC control. The flare will reduce VOCs by 98% by weight or to an outlet concentration of 20 parts per million by volume (ppmv) as hexane at 3% oxygen per 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW. The 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare will be replaced with a 45 MMBtu/hr flare and the existing 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare will be used as backup.
The applicant has proposed a VOC collection efficiency of 85% by weight. AP-42 Section 2.4.4.2 (1/98) states collection efficiencies range from 60-85%. To justify the 85% collection efficiency assumption, the applicant has proposed to follow Subpart VVWW surface monitoring requirements as explained in the Rule 2201 monitoring section of this evaluation.
Once the site exceeds NMOC emission rate of 50 Mg/year, the gas collection and control system (GCCS) will be expanded to include additional vertical and/or horizontal collection components as necessary to meet 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart VVWW.
Flare
The Landfill Gas Extraction System (LGES) uses an enclosed flare. According to the applicant, the flare is expected to have a 98 to 99% VOC destruction efficiency when operating at the design temperature range of 1,550 to 1,800 °F.
An electrical pump creates a vacuum on the subsurface soil, drawing landfill gases through buried, slotted, PVC piping. The collected vapors are ducted through the piping to a flare.
VII. General Calculations
A. Assumptions
• Facility operates 24 hours per day (worst-case) • For PK() emissions calculations, the facility is assumed to cover the entire landfill
with soil one time during the year, which for this facility is approximately 121 acres (worst-case District assumption to maximize PK ° emissions)
• Final Cover Thickness =4 feet • Soil density = 120 lb/cu ft • USEPA Landfill Gas Emissions Model (LandGEM) will be used to calculate PEI
and PE2
4
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
• The permitted amount of waste accepted to facility is 1,100 tons/day and 401,500 tons/yr (current PTO)
o Methane generation potential "L o" = 170 cubic meters per megagram (LandGEM default value for estimating NMOC emissions)
• Methane generation rate constant "k" = 0.020 per year (AP-42 default for dry sites)
• Molecular weight of Hexane = 86.18 lb/lb-mole (AP-42, 11/98, Section 2.4.4.2) • Standard molar volume of gas = 379.5 ft 3/Ib-mole (universal constant) • NMOC concentration = 4,000 ppmv as hexane (worst-case, proposed by the
Applicant) • VOC concentration = 232 ppmv as hexane (worst-case, proposed by the
Applicant) • 1 Mg = 2,204.623 lb • VOC collection system efficiency = 85% (as proposed by Applicant per AP-42
(11/98) Section 2.4.4.2) • VOC control efficiency of the flare: 98% (current PTO) o Pre-project flare heat input limit = 33.33 MMBtu/hr (current PTO) • Post-project flare heat input limit for the 45 MMBtu/hr flare = 45 MMBtu/hr (per
applicant) • Post-project flare heat input limit for the 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare = 33.33 MMBtu/hr
(per applicant) • 33.33 MMBtu/hr flare exhaust flow rate = 8,786 scfm (per applicant) • 45 MMBtu/hr flare exhaust flow rate = 1,659 scfm (per applicant)
B. Emission Factors
Landfill VOC Emissions
As shown in Attachment B, the maximum uncontrolled VOC emission rate is 231.9 Mg/year (25.56 ton/year) based on a worst-case waste acceptance rate of 401,500 tons/year. This value is based upon an uncontrolled landfill and a worst case VOC concentration of 232 ppmv as hexane.
There is no proposed change in landfill VOC emissions in this project as the waste acceptance or VOC concentration is not being modified.
PM ° Emissions from Earthmoving Activities — Final Covering
PK° emissions are calculated according to US EPA's AP-42 equation for material handling and drop-equation in Section 13.2.4.

C. Calculations
1. Pre-Project Potential to Emit (PEI)
Landfill PK° Emissions
Soil moved = 121 acres x 43,560 sq ft/acre x 4 ft x 120 lb/cu ft x ton/2000 lb = 1,264,982.4 tons
Annual PM 10 = 1,264,982.4 tons x 0.0023 lb-PMniton = 2,909 lb-PMio/year
Assuming 365 days per year operation,
Daily PK° = 2,909 lb-PMio/year + 365 days/year = 8.0 lb-PMio/day
Pre-Project Potential to Emit (PEI)
Pollutant Daily Emissions (lb/day) Annual Emissions (lb/year)
Pl\lio 8.0 2,909
Landfill VOC Emissions
The facility has provided an updated LandGEM model run with updated waste acceptance rate values (see Attachment B) and the worst case annual VOC emissions (occurs at year 2021),
Annual VOC emissions = 23.19 Mg/year x 2204.623 lb/Mg = 51,125 lb/year Daily VOC emissions = 51,125 lb/year + 365 day/year = 140.1 lb/day
When specific conditions are met, the collectors (wells) are opened and the landfill gas is sent to the control device. In addition, the applicant performs surface monitoring per 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart VVWW to ensure the 85% collection efficiency assumption is justified. AP-42 (11/98) Section 2.4.4.2 states typical gas collection efficiencies range from 60-85%. The flare unit has a VOC control efficiency requirement of 98%. Therefore, the VOC emissions are as follows:
Daily VOC emissions = 140.1 lb/day x (1-0.85) + 140.1 lb/day x 0.85 x (1-0.98) = 23.4 lb-VOC/day
Annual VOC emissions = 51,125 lb/year x (1-0.85) + 51,125 lb/year x 0.85 x (1-0.98) = 8,538 lb-VOC/year

County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
33 MMBtu/hr Flare Emissions
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW allows for compliance to be shown via 98% control efficiency or 20 ppmv VOC in the exhaust. Comparison of 98% control efficiency to 20 ppmv for VOC emissions is calculated as follows:
Daily VOC emissions = (effluent VOC ppmv) x (lb to lb-mole conversion) x (lb-mole/379.5 ft 3) x (effluent flowrate) x (minutes per day)
Daily VOC emissions = (20 parts/1,000,000 parts) x (86.18 lb/lb-mole) x (lb-mole/379.5 ft 3) x (8,786 ft3/min) x (1,440 min/day)
Daily VOC emissions = 57.5 lb/day
Annual VOC emissions = Daily VOC emissions x 365 days/year = 57.5 lb/day x 365 days/year = 20,974 lb/year
Therefore, the 20 ppmv VOC emissions requirement is the worst case scenario. However per the current PTO, the applicant has proposed to limit the facility-wide emissions to 19,999 lb/year. The applicant will monitor the VOC emissions from the facility and submit an ATC application to supply the required ERCs when the facility exceeds the offset threshold for VOC emissions.

2. Post-Project Potential to Emit (PE2)
Landfill PK° Emissions
The landfill area is not changing and applicant is not proposing a change in the amount of cover soil. Therefore, PE2 = PE1.
Landfill VOC Emissions
The facility is not proposing a change in the waste acceptance rate, the NMOC concentration, or the VOC collection and control efficiency values. Therefore, PE2 = PE 1 .
45 MMBtu/hr Flare Emissions
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart VVWW allows for compliance to be shown via 98% control efficiency or 20 ppmv VOC in the exhaust. Comparison of 98% control efficiency to 20 ppmv for VOC emissions is calculated as follows:
Daily VOC emissions = (effluent VOC ppmv) x (lb to lb-mole conversion) x (lb-mole/379.5 ft 3) x (effluent flowrate) x (minutes per day)
Daily VOC emissions = (20 parts/1,000,000 parts) x (86.18 lb/lb-mole) x (lb-mole/379.5 ft 3) x (1,659 ft 3/min) x (1,440 min/day)
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
Daily VOC emissions = 10.9 lb/day
Annual VOC emissions = Daily VOC emissions x 365 days/year = 10.9 lb/day x 365 days/year = 3,960 lb/year
Therefore, the 98% control efficiency VOC emissions requirement is the worst case scenario and will be established as the potential to emit for this operation.

33.33 MMBtu/hr Flare Emissions
The backup flare emissions are less than the primary 45 MMBtu/hr flare emissions for all pollutants. Therefore, the primary 45 MMBtu/hr emissions will be used for worst case scenario as the post-project potential to emit in this project.

6. Baseline Emissions (BE)
The BE calculation (in lbs/year) is performed pollutant-by-pollutant for each unit within the project, to calculate the QNEC and if applicable, to determine the amount of offsets required.
BE = Pre-project Potential to Emit for: • Any unit located at a non-Major Source, • Any Highly-Utilized Emissions Unit, located at a Major Source,
• Any Fully-Offset Emissions Unit, located at a Major Source, or • Any Clean Emissions Unit, located at a Major Source.
otherwise,
BE = Historical Actual Emissions (HAE), calculated pursuant to Rule 2201
Flare
Since this is a new emissions unit, BE = PE1 = 0 for all pollutants.
Landfill
PMio
Unit Located at a Non-Major Source As shown in Section VII.C.5 above, the facility is not a major source for PK° emissions.
Therefore Baseline Emissions (BE) are equal to the Pre-project Potential to Emit (PEI).
VOC
Unit Located at a Non-Major Source As shown in Section VII.C.5 above, the facility is not a major source for VOC emissions.
Therefore Baseline Emissions (BE) are equal to the Pre-project Potential to Emit (PE1).

7. SB 288 Major Modification
SB 288 Major Modification is defined in 40 CFR Part 51.165 as "any physical change in or change in the method of operation of a major stationary source that would result in a significant net emissions increase of any pollutant subject to regulation under the Act."
Since this facility is not a major source for any of the pollutants addressed in this project, this project does not constitute an SB 288 major modification.
8. Federal Major Modification
District Rule 2201 states that a Federal Major Modification is the same as a "Major Modification" as defined in 40 CFR 51.165 and part D of Title I of the CAA.
Since this facility is not a Major Source for any pollutants, this project does not constitute a Federal Major Modification. Additionally, since the facility is not a major source for PK() (140,000 lb/year), it is not a major source for PM2 5 (200,000 lb/year).
9. Rule 2410 — Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Applicability Determination
Rule 2410 applies to pollutants for which the District is in attainment or for unclasssified, pollutants. The pollutants addressed in the PSD applicability determination are listed as follows:
• NO2 (as a primary pollutant) • SO2 (as a primary pollutant) • CO • PM • PR/lio
The first step of this PSD evaluation consists of determining whether the facility is an existing PSD Major Source or not (See Section VII.C.5 of this document).
In the case the facility is an existing PSD Major Source, the second step of the PSD evaluation is to determine if the project results in a PSD significant increase.
In the case the facility is NOT an existing PSD Major Source but is an existing source, the second step of the PSD evaluation is to determine if the project, by itself, would be a PSD major source.
In the case the facility is new source, the second step of the PSD evaluation is to determine if this new facility will become a new PSD major Source as a result of the project and if so, to determine which pollutant will result in a PSD significant increase.

County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
I. Potential to Emit for New or Modified Emission Units vs PSD Major Source Thresholds
As a screening tool, the project potential to emit from all new and modified units is compared to the PSD major source threshold, and if total project potential to emit from all new and modified units is below this threshold, no further analysis will be needed.
The facility or the equipment evaluated under this project is not listed as one of the categories specified in 40 CFR 52.21 (b)(1)(i). Therefore the following PSD Major Source thresholds are applicable.
PSD Major Source Determ'nation: Potential to Em 't (tons/year)
NO2 VOC SO2 CO PM PMio Total PE from New and Modified Units 9.9 4.3 6.5 39.4 5.4 5.4 PSD Major Source threshold 250 250 250 250 250 250
New PSD Major Source? N N N N N N
As demonstrated above, because the project has a total potential to emit from all new and modified emission units below the PSD significant emission increase thresholds, this project is not subject to the requirements of Rule 2410 due to a significant emission increase and no further discussion is required.
10. Quarterly Net Emissions Change (QNEC)
The Quarterly Net Emissions Change is used to complete the emission profile screen for the District's PAS database. The QNEC shall be calculated as follows:
QNEC = PE2 - PEI, where:
QNEC = Quarterly Net Emissions Change for each emissions unit, lb/qtr. PE2 = Post Project Potential to Emit for each emissions unit, lb/qtr. PE1 = Pre-Project Potential to Emit for each emissions unit, lb/qtr.
Using the values in Sections VII.C.2 and VII.C.6 in the evaluation above, quarterly PE2 and quarterly PE1 can be calculated as follows:
Quarterly NEC [QNEC]
PE2 (lb/qtr) PEI (lb/qtr) NEC (lb/qtr) NOx 4,928 4,380 548 SOx 3,252 2,409 843

VIII. Compliance
Rule 2201 New and Modified Stationary Source Review Rule
A. Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
1. BACT Applicability
BACT requirements are triggered on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis and on an emissions unit-by-emissions unit basis for the following*:
a. Any new emissions unit with a potential to emit exceeding two pounds per day,
b. The relocation from one Stationary Source to another of an existing emissions unit with a potential to emit exceeding two pounds per day,
c. Modifications to an existing emissions unit with a valid Permit to Operate resulting in an AIPE exceeding two pounds per day, and/or
d. Any new or modified emissions unit, in a stationary source project, which results in a Major Modification.
*Except for CO emissions from a new or modified emissions unit at a Stationary Source with an SSPE2 of less than 200,000 pounds per year of CO.
a. New emissions units — PE > 2 lb/day
Flare VOC Emissions
Flare Emission Factors Landfill Gas Fuel (45 MMBtu/hr Flare)
VOC

Applicant Proposed
Daily Post-Project Potential to Emit - Flare
VOC 0.0084 (Ib/MMBtu) x 45 (MMBtu/hr) x 24 (hr/day) = 9.1 (lb/day)
As seen above and in Section VII.C.2, the applicant is proposing to install a new flare with a PE greater than 2 lb/day for NON, SON, PM10, CO, and VOC. See discussion in Section VIII.A.2 below regarding BACT for flares.
b. Relocation of emissions units — PE > 2 lb/day
As discussed in Section I above, there are no emissions units being relocated from one stationary source to another; therefore BACT is not triggered.
16
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
c. Modification of emissions units — AIPE > 2 lb/day
AIPE = PE2 — HAPE
Where, AIPE = Adjusted Increase in Permitted Emissions, (lb/day) PE2 = Post-Project Potential to Emit, (lb/day) HAPE = Historically Adjusted Potential to Emit, (lb/day)
HAPE = PE1 x (EF2/EF1)
Where, PE1 = The emissions unit's PE prior to modification or relocation,
(lb/day) EF2 = The emissions unit's permitted emission factor for the pollutant
after modification or relocation. If EF2 is greater than EF1 then EF2/EF1 shall be set to 1
EF1 = The emissions unit's permitted emission factor for the pollutant before the modification or relocation
AIPE = PE2 — (PE1 * (EF2 / EF1))
Landfill PM io Emissions
There are no PK° emission factor changes in this project. Therefore, EF2 / EF1 = 1.
AIPE = 8.0 — (8.0 * (1)) = 8.0 — 8.0 = 0.0 lb-PMio/day
As demonstrated above, the AIPE is not greater than 2 lb/day. Therefore BACT is not triggered for landfill PM10 emissions.
Landfill VOC Emissions
There are no VOC emission factor changes in this project. Therefore, EF2 / EF1 = 1.
AIPE = 23.4 —(23.4 * (1)) = 23.4 — 23.4 = 0.0 lb-VOC/day
As demonstrated above, the AIPE is not greater than 2 lb/day. Therefore BACT is not triggered for landfill VOC emissions.
17
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
d. SB 288/Federal Major Modification
As discussed in Sections VII.C.7 and VII.C.8 above, this project does not constitute an SB 288 and/or Federal Major Modification. Therefore BACT is not triggered for any pollutant.
2. BACT Discussion
The flare is used to control the landfill gas that is generated by the landfill and therefore is an emission control device. In accordance with District definitions, an emission control device is not an emission unit. Per District Rule 2201, only emission units can trigger BACT. Therefore, an emission control device cannot be subject to BACT requirements.
District BACT Guideline 1.4.3 applies to landfill gas-fired flares. This BACT guideline was established prior to the District formalizing a position of BACT on control equipment. The guideline was simply a place to list the criteria to be a well controlled flare, but as the flare would not trigger BACT, it is inappropriate to have a BACT guideline for a flare. However, upon review of the BACT Guideline 1.4.3, the proposed flare will operate with NOx emissions of 0.05 lb/MMBtu which meets the technologically feasible BACT requirements for this type of operation. Therefore, the proposed flare is minimizing the generation of collateral pollutants and is equivalent to the best control alternatives available for this type of operation.
B. Offsets
1. Offset Applicability
Offset requirements shall be triggered on a pollutant by pollutant basis and shall be required if the SSPE2 equals to or exceeds the offset threshold levels in Table 4- 1 of Rule 2201.
The SSPE2 is compared to the offset thresholds in the following table.
Offset Determination (lb/year) NOx SOx PMio CO VOC
SSPE2 19,710 13,009 10,793 78,840 8,538 Offset Thresholds 20,000 54,750 . _ 29,200 . 200,000 20,000
Offsets triggered? No No No No No
18
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
2. Quantity of Offsets Required
As seen above, the SSPE2 is not greater than the offset thresholds for all the pollutants; therefore offset calculations are not necessary and offsets will not be required for this project.
C. Public Notification
1. Applicability
Public noticing is required for: a. New Major Sources, Federal Major Modifications, and SB 288 Major
Modifications, b. Any new emissions unit with a Potential to Emit greater than 100 pounds
during any one day for any one pollutant, c. Any project which results in the offset thresholds being surpassed, and/or d. Any project with an SSIPE of greater than 20,000 lb/year for any pollutant. e. Any project which results in a Title V significant permit modification.
a. New Major Sources, Federal Major Modifications, and SB 288 Major Modifications
New Major Sources are new facilities, which are also Major Sources. Since this is not a new facility, public noticing is not required for this project for New Major Source purposes.
As demonstrated in Sections VII.C.7 and VII.C.8, this project does not constitute an SB 288 or Federal Major Modification; therefore, public noticing for SB 288 or Federal Major Modification purposes is not required.
b. PE > 100 lb/day
The PE2 for the new flare is compared to the daily PE Public Notice thresholds in the following table:
PE > 100 lb/day Public Notice Thresholds
Pollutant PE2
(lb/day) Public Notice
Threshold Public Notice Triggered?
NOx 54.0 100 lb/day No SOx 35.6 100 lb/day No

VOC 9.1 100 lb/day No
19
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
Therefore, public noticing for PE > 100 lb/day purposes is required.
c. Offset Threshold
The following table compares the SSPE1 with the SSPE2 in order to determine if any offset thresholds have been surpassed with this project.
Offset Thresholds
Pollutant SSPE1 (lb/year)

VOC 19,999 8,538 20,000 lb/year No
As detailed above, there were no thresholds surpassed with this project; therefore public noticing is not required for offset purposes.
d. SSIPE > 20,000 lb/year
Public notification is required for any permitting action that results in a SSIPE of more than 20,000 lb/year of any affected pollutant. According to District policy, the SSIPE = SSPE2 - SSPE1. The SSIPE is compared to the SSIPE Public Notice thresholds in the following table.
SSIPE Public Notice Thresholds
Pollutant SSPE2 (lb/year)

VOC 8,538 19,999 -11,461 20,000 lb/year No
As demonstrated above, the SSIPE for CO is greater than 20,000 lb/year; therefore public noticing for SSIPE purposes is required.
2. Public Notice Action
As discussed above, public noticing is required for this project for CO emissions in excess of 100 lb/day and for SSIPE greater than 20,000 lb/year for CO emissions. Therefore, public notice documents will be submitted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and a public notice will be published in a local
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
newspaper of general circulation prior to the issuance of the ATC permit for this equipment.
D. Daily Emission Limits (DELs)
DELs and other enforceable conditions are required by Rule 2201 to restrict a unit's maximum daily emissions, to a level at or below the emissions associated with the maximum design capacity. The DEL must be contained in the latest ATC permit and contained in or enforced by the latest PTO and enforceable, in a practicable manner, on a daily basis. DELs are also required to enforce the applicability of BACT.
• Total Class Ill waste material rate received at the facility shall not exceed either 1,100 tons/day or 401,500 tons/yr. [District Rule 2201]
• VOC emissions from the landfill and the flare shall not exceed 23.4 lb/day. [District Rule 2201]
• Emissions from the flare shall not exceed any of the following limits: 0.05 lb-NOx/MMBtu, 0.033 lb-S0x/MMBtu, 0.02 lb-PM10/MMBtu, 0.2 lb-CO/MMBtu, or 0.0084 lb-VOC/MMBtu. [District Rule 2201]
• Total PM10 emissions from the handling of soil cover shall not exceed 0.0023 lb-PM10/ton of material handled. [District Rule 2201]
Using daily post project PMio emissions, the amount of total soil cover usage can be calculated as follows:
Daily total soil coverage (ton/day) = Landfill daily post project PK° emissions (lb-PMio/day) ÷ (0.0023 lb-PMio/ton)
Daily total soil coverage ton/day = 8.0 lb-PMio/day + 0.0023 lb-PMio/ton Daily total soil coverage = 3,478 ton/day
Therefore, the following condition will be listed on the ATC permit to ensure cornpliance:
• Total soil cover usage rate shall not exceed 3,478 tons per day. [District Rule 2201]
E. Compliance Assurance
1. Source Testing
Per District Source Testing Frequency policy APR-1705, dated 10/9/97, Units equipped with an afterburner, a thermal incinerator, or a catalytic incinerator for controlling VOCs must be tested upon initial start-up and annually thereafter. As this landfill operation is using a flare to control VOC emissions, source testing will be required of this permit unit upon initial start-up and annually thereafter to demonstrate compliance with Rule 2201. Therefore, the following conditions will be listed on the permit to ensure compliance:
21
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
• Source testing on the Perennial Energy flare shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with the flare NOx and CO limits, and the NMOC destruction efficiency of 98% or less than 20 ppmv dry basis as hexane NMOC outlet concentration at 3 percent oxygen as required by this permit shall be conducted within 60 days of startup. [District Rule 2201]
• Source testing on the Perennial Energy flare shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with the flare NOx and CO limits, and the NMOC destruction efficiency of 98%, or 20 ppmvd @ 3% 02 as hexane, as required by this permit shall be conducted annually. [District Rule 2201]
• The Perennial Energy flare shall be tested for compliance with the NOx, CO, and VOC/NMOC emissions limit at least once every 12 months. Source testing for the backup Callidus Technology flare shall not be required if the unit is not in operation, i.e. the unit need not be started solely to perform source testing. Source testing for compliance with the NOx, CO, and VOC/NMOC emissions limit for the backup Callidus Technology flare shall be performed within 12 months of operating the unit. [District Rule 2201]
• Gas combusted in the flare shall be tested for H2S content on a quarterly basis using draeger tubes. If compliance is shown for two consecutive quarters, the testing frequency may be changed to annual. Quarterly testing shall resume if any annual test shows noncompliance. [District Rule 1081]
• Sulfur content of the landfill gas being combusted in the flare shall be determined using ASTM D 1072, D 3031, D 4084, D 3246 or double GC for H2S and mercaptans, or draeger tubes for H2S, or an equivalent method approved by the District. [District Rule 2201]

• Source testing for flare NOx emissions shall be conducted using CARB Method 7 or Method 20. [District Rule 2201]
• Source testing for flare CO emissions shall be conducted using EPA Method 10 or 10B, CARB Methods 1 through 5 with 10, or CARB Method 100. [District Rule 2201]
• Operator shall determine landfill gas fuel higher heating value annually by ASTM D 1826 or D 1945 in conjunction with ASTM D 3588 for gaseous fuels. [District Rule 2201]
2. Monitoring
In order to ensure all of the NSR requirements are met, the applicant performs the following monitoring.
22
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
Initial Monitoring of Gas Collection Devices
The performance of the collectors installed in relatively new waste is variable as the rate at which waste decomposition changes from an aerobic process to an anaerobic process, which is dependent on many factors including waste depth, moisture, climate, and waste compaction. In addition, there are early interim stages of the anaerobic state where methanogen populations are not stabilized and the "typical" mature LFG composition is not yet present. Early waste and the bacteria populations in these early LFG stages are sensitive to introduction of air and therefore early collectors are prone to operational problems such as excessive air infiltration. Air infiltration can kill methanogen populations and lead to landfill fires. Therefore, the collectors must be operated with consideration for these issues and with optimal flexibility.
Once installed and prior to initial operation (i.e. opening of wellhead control valves), the facility monitors the collectors to measure gas composition, quantity, and assess potential performance. Initial monitoring is performed once per quarter. Initial monitoring, at a minimum, consists of the following parameters:
• Static pressure, in inches water column, • Percent methane, • Percent oxygen, and • Temperature.
Monitoring is conducted using a portable LFG analyzer such as the Landtec GEM-500 or equivalent. Monitoring data is recorded along with time and date of monitoring and weather conditions at the time of monitoring.
These parameters are chosen, with input from USEPA Region 1, because they provide the information the District would need to determine whether there is a sufficient quality (methane content) and quantity (pressure buildup) to allow gas collection while at the same time monitoring for oxygen intrusion and potential subsurface fire (change in temperature).
Commissioning of Early Collection Devices
During the initial monitoring period, several monitoring parameters are assessed to determine if the collectors should be commissioned. The following parameter are used in this determination:
• Methane: 45% methane or greater (evidence of sufficient methane quality). • Oxygen: 5% or less (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WVVW limit as to maximum
amount of allowable oxygen based on risk of subsurface fire). • Temperature: Less than 131 °F (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart 1NWW limit as to
maximum temperature based on risk of subsurface fire).
23
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
• Static Pressure at wellhead is 5.0 inches of water column or greater (evidence of enough gas buildup to allow collection without significant air intrusion).
If all the parameters are met, the facility initiates collection of LFG from the collector(s) immediately by opening the valve on the wellhead assembly and actuating the LEG blower. Once the system is commissioned, the control valve is opened in such a manner so as to allow operation and equalization until the next scheduled monitoring event.
During the first six months of operation, the system is monitored weekly with provisions for allowing a reduction in monitoring frequency to monthly after that time. During the next monitoring event, the appropriate well control valve adjustment shall be made based on performance and as determined by the permittee. In some cases, the control valve may need to be closed again (e.g. if oxygen is above 5%, if methane is below 45%, etc.) so as not to induce air intrusion and the risk of fire.
Operation of Early Collection Devices
Subsequent to commissioning, the collectors are monitored once per week (with possible reduction in frequency after six months as noted above). Initial monitoring consists of measuring the following parameters:
• Static pressure, in inches water column, • Percent methane, • Percent oxygen, and • Gas temperature at the wellhead
Monitoring is conducted using a portable LFG analyzer such as the Landtec GEM-500, or equivalent. Monitoring data is recorded along with well valve adjustments made, time and date of monitoring, and weather conditions at the time of monitoring. The collectors are operated with the following parameters used as minimum operating guidelines:
• Methane: 40% or greater, • Oxygen: 10% or less, • Vacuum at wellhead: 0.1 inch water column or greater, and • Temperature: 131 °F and an increase in temperature of less than 10 °F
Appropriate well control valve adjustment shall be made based on the performance of the device. In some cases, the control valve may need to be closed entirely. Generally the control valve adjustments shall be in such a manner so as to allow operation and equalization until the next scheduled monitoring event as the valve adjustment may take some time to take effect.
24
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
Surface Emissions Monitoring:
In order to ensure the 85% collection efficiency assumption is justified, the applicant performs surface emissions monitoring per 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WVVW requirements.
Surface monitoring for the expansion area would be initiated once an area reaches final waste grade and has intermediate cover placed, or within 90 days after collection is initiated in the expansion area (based on the procedures outlined above), whichever comes first. The surface emission monitoring is conducted in accordance with the procedures and alternatives in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWVV, including all corrective action and reporting requirements.
After an exceedance, the permittee initiates corrective action within 5 days and conduct re-monitoring within 10 days after the initial exceedance. If this reading shows compliance has been achieved, then an additional re-monitoring event is conducted within one month of the initial exceedance for confirmation. If the 10- day event still shows an exceedance, the permittee initiates corrective action within 5 days and conducts re-monitoring within 10 days after the second exceedance. If this reading shows compliance has been achieved, then an additional re-monitoring event is conducted within one month of the initial exceedance for confirmation. If the second 10-day event also shows an exceedance, then the permittee would be required to permit and install additional LEG wells to correct the problem within 120 days of the initial exceedance.
The monitoring is conducted quarterly. However, if there are any exceedances during a quarterly event, monitoring reverts to monthly until there are three consecutive months without exceedances, which would allow a return to quarterly monitoring.
At no time shall an area that is actively receiving waste be monitored due to safety concerns. Per applicant, any area excluded due to a safety concern such as active operation, is documented and kept on file at the site. Once an area is under final cover and has demonstrated three consecutive clean quarters of surface emissions monitoring, the area may switch to annual monitoring. If any area under annual monitoring exceed 500 ppmv as methane during surface emissions monitoring, that area will return to quarterly monitoring until three consecutive quarters demonstrate less than 500 ppmv.
40 CFR 60 Subparts Cc or WWW-based monitoring conditions to address a collection and control system is listed on the permit. Therefore, the following conditions are listed on the permit to ensure compliance:
• All equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition and shall be operated in a manner to minimize emissions of air contaminants into the atmosphere. [District Rule 2201]
25
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
• Permittee shall operate the flare at all times when the collected gas is routed to it. [District Rule 2201]
• Gas collection system shall be operated in a manner which maximizes the amount of landfill gas extracted while preventing overdraw that can cause fires or damage the gas collection system. [District Rule 2201]
• During maintenance of the gas collection system or incineration device, emissions of landfill gas shall be minimized during shutdown. [District Rules 2020 and 2201]
• Maintenance is defined as work performed on a gas collection system and/or control device in order to ensure continued compliance with District rules, regulations, and/or Permits to Operate, and to prevent its failure or malfunction. [District Rule 2201]
• The permittee shall notify the APCO by telephone at least 24 hours before performing any maintenance work that requires the system to be shutdown. The notification shall include a description of work, the date work will be performed and the amount of time needed to complete the maintenance work. [District Rule 22011
• Landfill gas line from collection header shall be equipped with a gas flow rate measurement device. [District Rule 2201]
• A non-resettable, totalizing mass or volumetric landfill gas fuel flow meter, or other APCO approved alternative, to measure the amount of gas combusted in the enclosed flare shall be installed, utilized and maintained. [District Rule 2201]
• Sampling ports adequate for sulfur testing shall be provided in the landfill gas manifold line to the flare. [District Rule 1081]
• For initial monitoring of collection devices in the expansion area, prior to initial operation, the permittee shall monitor the collectors at least once per quarter for static pressure, percent methane, percent oxygen, and temperature utilizing a District-approved portable landfill gas analyzer. [District Rule 2201]
• For commissioning of collection devices in the expansion area, collectors shall be commissioned and continually operated if all of the following parameters are met: (1) methane percent 45% or greater; (2) oxygen percent 5% or less; (3) temperature less than 131 degrees F; and (4) static pressure 5.0 in H20 or greater. [District Rule 2201]
• For operation of collection devices in the expansion area, once the collectors are commissioned, the permittee shall monitor the collectors weekly for the first six months of operation and may switch to monthly monitoring thereafter. [District Rule 2201]
• For surface emissions monitoring, once an area has reached final grade or within 90 days when the LFG system in the area is commissioned, whichever comes first, surface emissions shall not exceed a methane concentration of 500 parts per million above background at the surface of the landfill. [District Rule 2201]
• For surface emissions monitoring, surface monitoring for the landfill area shall be performed quarterly. If there are any exceedances during a
26
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
quarterly event, monitoring will be required monthly until three consecutive months without exceedances, which would allow a return to quarterly monitoring. [District Rule 2201]
• For surface emissions monitoring, after an exceedance, the permittee shall initiate corrective action within five days and conduct remonitoring within ten days from the initial exceedance. If compliance is shown, an additional remonitoring event is required within one month of the initial exceedance. If the ten day event shows an exceedance, the permittee shall initiate corrective action within five days and conduct remonitoring within ten days from the second exceedance. If compliance is shown, an additional remonitoring is required within one month of the initial exceedance. If the second ten day event shows an exceedance, the permittee shall permit and install additional landfill gas wells to correct the problem within 120 days of the initial exceedance. The permittee may utilize an alternative corrective action with prior approval from the APCO. [District Rule 2201]
• For surface emissions monitoring, permittee shall conduct surface testing around the perimeter of the collection area and along a pattern that traverses the landfill at 30-meter intervals (or a site-specific established spacing) and where visual observations indicate elevated concentrations of landfill gas, such as distressed vegetation and cracks or seeps in the cover.

(a)(2): The landfill has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million cubic meters; and
(a)(3): The landfill has a non-methane organic compound emission rate of 50 megagrams per year or more.
This landfill has a capacity greater than 2.5 million cubic meters, and will have non-methane organic compound emissions in excess of 50 megagrams per year. Therefore, this landfill must control its emissions.
60.33c(b) Municipal solid waste landfills subject to this subpart shall install a collection and control system meeting the conditions provided in 40 CFR 60.752(b)(2)(ii), which are summarized below:
60.752(b)(2)(ii): Install a collection and control system that captures the gas generated within the landfill within 30 months after the first annual report in which the emission rate exceeds 50 megagrams per year; and

BACT for toxic emission control (T-BACT) is required if the cancer risk exceeds one in one million. As demonstrated above, T-BACT is required for this project because the HRA indicates that the risk is above the District's thresholds for triggering T-BACT requirements.
For this project T-BACT is triggered for VOC. T-BACT is satisfied with a well controlled flare. District BACT Guideline 1.4.3 applies to landfill gas-fired flares. BACT Guideline 1.4.3 states BACT for VOC is a flare with a control efficiency of (= or >) 98% or a controlled VOC (measured as methane) of (= or <) 20 ppmv @ 3% 02 as the Achieved in Practice option. The proposed flare has a control efficiency of (= or >) 98% or a controlled VOC (measured as methane) of (= or <) 20 ppmv @ 3% 02 and conditions will be imposed to ensure the requirements of BACT are satisfied. The following condition will be listed on the permit to ensure compliance:
• Source testing on the Perennial Energy flare shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with the flare NOx and CO limits, and the NMOC destruction efficiency of 98%, or 20 ppmvd @ 3% 02 as hexane, as required by this permit shall be conducted annually. [District Rule 2201]
Therefore, the proposed flare is equivalent to the best control alternatives available for this type of operation. Compliance with the District's Risk Management Policy is expected.
District policy APR 1905 also specifies that the increase in emissions associated with a proposed new source or modification not have acute or chronic indices, or a cancer risk greater than the District's significance levels (i.e. acute and/or chronic indices greater than 1 and a cancer risk greater than 10 in a million). As outlined by the HRA Summary in Attachment D of this report, the emissions increases for this project was determined to be less than significant.

Rule 4201 Particulate Matter Concentration
Section 3.1 prohibits discharge of dust, fumes, or total particulate matter into the atmosphere from any single source operation in excess of 0.1 grain per dry standard cubic foot.
Particulate matter calculations were performed for each piece of equipment by the following equation:
F-Factor for LFG:
9,120 dscf/MMBtu at 60 °F (assuming 55% CH4 per AP-42)
PK° Emission Factor:
0.02 lb-PMio/MMBtu Percentage of PM as PK() in Exhaust: 100%
GL =( 0.02 lb — PM 7,000 grain) ft
I (9
'120 '
MMBtu lb — PM MMBtu
GL= 0.015 grain! dscf < 0.1 grain 1 dscf
Since the particulate matter concentration is 5_ 0.1 grains per dscf, compliance with Rule 4201 is expected.
Rule 4202 Particulate Matter Emission Rate
Rule 4202 establishes PM emission limits as a function of process weight rate in tons/hr. Gas and liquid fuels are excluded from the definition of process weight.
The proposed flare runs on landfill gas.
Therefore, the requirements of this rule do not apply to this project.
Rule 4301 Fuel Burning Equipment
Rule 4301 limits air contaminant emissions from fuel burning equipment as defined in the rule. Section 3.1 defines fuel burning equipment as "any furnace, boiler, apparatus, stack, and all appurtenances thereto, used in the process of burning fuel for the primary purpose of producing heat or power by indirect heat transfer".
Section 5.0 gives the requirements of the rule.
A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere combustion contaminants exceeding in concentration at the point of discharge, 0.1 grain per cubic foot of gas calculated to 12% of carbon dioxide at dry standard conditions.
40
County of Madera - Fairmead Landfill C-2913, Project # 1151227
A person shall not build, erect, install or expand any non-mobile fuel burning equipment unit unless the discharge into the atmosphere of contaminants will not and does not exceed any one or more of the following rates:
• 200 pound per hour of sulfur compounds, calculated as sulfur dioxide (SO2) e 140 pounds per hour of nitrogen oxides, calculated as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) • Ten pounds per hour of combustion contaminants as defined in Rule 1020 and

I Pollutant NO2 Total PM SO2 C-2913-1-6 (lb/hr) 1.67 0.67 1.10 Rule Limit (lb/hr) 140 10 200
Therefore, compliance with the requirements of this rule is expected.
Rule 4311 Flares
The purpose of this rule is to limit the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (N0x) from the operation of flares. Section 4.3 of this Rule states that "Except for the recordkeeping requirements in Section 6.2.4, the requirements of this rule shall not apply to any stationary source that has the potential to emit, for all processes, less than ten (10.0) tons per year of VOC and less than ten (10.0) tons per year of NOx. As shown previously in Section VII.C.5 this facility has an SSPE2 less than ten tons per year of VOC and less than ten tons per year of NOx. Therefore, the flare at this facility is only subject to the recordkeeping requirements in Section 6.2.4 of this Rule.
Section 6.2.4 states that beginning January 1, 2007, facilities claiming an exemption pursuant to Section 4.3 shall record annual throughput, material usage, or other information necessary to demonstrate an exemption under that section. Therefore, the following condition will be listed on the ATC to ensure compliance:

Rule 4801 Sulfur Compounds
The purpose of this rule is to limit the emissions of sulfur compounds. The limit is that sulfur compound emissions (as SO2) shall not exceed 0.2% by volume. Using the ideal gas equation, the sulfur compound emissions are calculated as follows:
The ratio of the volume of the SO x exhaust to the entire exhaust for one MMBtu of fuel combusted is:
n.R.T Volume of SOx: V =
Where:
• n = number of moles of SO x produced per MMBtu of fuel. • Weight of SOx as SO2 is 64 lb/(1b-mol)
0.033 lb 1 (lb — mol) • n= X = 0.00052 (lb —mol)
MMBtu 64 lb
R= 0.7302 ft' — atm
• (lb — mol)—°R
• T = 500 °R • P = 1 atm
Thus, volume of SOx per MMBtu is:
n.R.T
V=
v =
0.7302 ft' — atm 0.0033 (lb — mol) • 500 °R
(lb — mol) — °R

V = 1.20 ft 3
Since the total volume of exhaust per MMBtu is 9,120 scf, the ratio of SOx volume to exhaust volume is:
= 0.000132 = 132 ppmv = 0.00132% by volume 1.20

The current average heat input rate for landfill gas collected from this site is 4.65 MMBtu/hour.
Gas Collection and Control System
The facility currently has a collection and control system permitted with the District (C-2913-1). The system controls the methane emissions from the surface of the landfill. The landfill is required to operate the gas collection system continuously pursuant to Section 95464(b)(1)(A), except during maintenance, repairs, and temporary shutdowns as allowed pursuant to Section 95454(e).
Landfill gas collection system wellheads must be operated under vacuum (Section 95464(c)). Monthly wellhead monitoring is required (Section 95469(c)) to demonstrate compliance with this requirement.
Any landfill gas collection system components downstream of the blower that are intended to be operated under positive pressure have a component leak limit of 500 ppmv, measured as methane (Section 95464(b)(1)(B)). Section 95469(b)(3) requires quarterly leak checks to demonstrate compliance with this limit.
The gas must be sent to a control device or devices that meet the requirements of section 95464. Fairmead Landfill has installed an enclosed ground flare. The enclosed flare must meet the requirements in Section 95464(b)(2), including compliance with a methane destruction efficiency of at least 99% by weight. Compliance with this limit is demonstrated by annual source testing. The flare must also be operated within the temperature range established during the initial source test and this temperature and landfill gas flow rate must be monitored continuously per Section 95469(b)(1).
Surface methane emissions
Section 95465 contains the two landfill surface emission standards: the instantaneous surface emission limit is 500 ppmv as methane; the integrated surface emission limit is 25 ppmv as methane for each grid. Section 95469(a) requires quarterly surface monitoring to demonstrate compliance with these standards.

California Health & Safety Code 42301.6 (School Notice)
This site is not located within 1,000 feet of a K-12 school.
Therefore, pursuant to California Health & Safety Code 42301.6, a school notice is not required.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The District performed an Engineering Evaluation (this document) for the proposed project and determined that all project specific emission unit(s) are exempt from Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements. Furthermore, the District has determined that potential emission increases would have a less than significant health impact on sensitive receptors.
Issuance of permits for emissions units not subject to BACT requirements and with health impact less than significant is a matter of ensuring conformity with applicable District rules and regulations and does not require discretionary judgment or deliberation. Thus, the District concludes that this permitting action constitutes a ministerial approval. Section 21080 of the Public Resources Code exempts from the application of CEQA those projects over which a public agency exercises only ministerial approval. Therefore, the District finds that this project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA.

About LandGEM:
First-Order Decomposition Rate Equation:
I2CH,4
Where,
CICH4 = annual methane generation in the year of the calculation (m 3/year) i = 1-year time increment n = (year of the calculation) - (initial year of waste acceptance)
j = 0.1-year time increment k = methane generation rate (yea( 1 ) Lo = potential methane generation capacity (m 3/Mg)
LandGEM is based on a first-order decomposition rate equation for quantifying emissions from the decomposition of landfilled waste in municipal solid waste (MSVV) landfills. The software provides a relatively simple approach to estimating landfill gas emissions. Model defaults are based on empirical data from U.S. landfills. Field test data can also be used in place of model defaults when available. Further guidance on EPA test methods, Clean Air Act (CM) regulations, and other guidance regarding landfill gas emissions and control technology requirements can be found at http://www.epa.govittnatwOl/landfill/landflpg.html.
LandGEM is considered a screening tool — the better the input data, the better the estimates. Often, there are limitations with the available data regarding waste quantity and composition, variation in design and operating practices over time, and changes occurring over time that impact the emissions potential. Changes to landfill operation, such as operating under wet conditions through leachate recirculation or other liquid additions, will result in generating more gas at a faster rate. Defaults for estimating emissions for this type of operation are being developed to include in LandGEM along with defaults for convential landfills (no leachate or liquid additions) for developing emission inventories and
determining CM applicability. Refer to the Web site identified above for future updates.

B. RMR REPORT
I. Project Description
Technical Services received a request on May 5, 2015, to perform an Ambient Air Quality Analysis and a Risk Management Review for the installation of a new 45 MMBTU/hr landfill gas enclosed flare.
II. Analysis
Technical Services performed a prioritization using the District's HEARTs database. Since the total facility prioritization score was greater than one, a refined health risk assessment was required. Emissions calculated using district approved landfill gas emissions factors were input into the HEARTs database. The AERMOD model was used, with the parameters outlined below and meteorological data for 2009-2013 from Madera to determine the dispersion factors (i.e., the predicted concentration or X divided by the normalized source strength or Q) for a receptor grid. These dispersion factors were input into the Hot Spots Analysis and Reporting Program (HARP) risk assessment module to calculate the chronic and acute hazard indices and the carcinogenic risk for the project.
The following parameters were used for the review:
Analysis Parameters Unit 1-6
Source Type Point Location Type Rural
Stack Height (m) 10.668 Closest Receptor (m) 759
Stack Diameter. (m) 1.4224 Type of Receptor Sensitive Receptor
Stack Exit Velocity (m/s) 6.41 Max Hours per Year 8760
Stack Exit Temp. (°K) 1199.817 Fuel Type Landfill Gas
Burner Rating (MMBtu/hr) 45
Technical Services performed modeling for criteria pollutants CO, NOx, SOx and PM io ; as well as a RMR. The emission rates used for criteria pollutant modeling were 216.0 lb/day CO, 54.0 lb/day NOx, 35.6 lb/day S0x, and 21.6 lb/day PM10.
The results from the Criteria Pollutant Modeling are as follows:

*Results were taken from the attached PSD spreadsheet. 'The project was compared to the 1-hour NO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standard that became effective on April 12, 2010 using the District's approved procedures. 2The criteria pollutants are below EPA's level of significance as found in 40 CFR Part 51.165 (b)(2). 3 Until which time EPA finalizes a AAQS & SI for PM 2.5 PM10 will be used as a surrogate.
III. Conclusion
The acute and chronic indices are below 1.0 and the cancer risk associated with the project is greater than 1.0 in a million, but less than 10 in a million. In accordance with the District's Risk Management Policy, the project is approved with Toxic Best Available Control Technology (T-BACT).
To ensure that human health risks will not exceed District allowable levels; the permit conditions listed on page 1 of this report must be included for this proposed unit.
These conclusions are based on the data provided by the applicant and the project engineer. Therefore, this analysis is valid only as long as the proposed data and parameters do not change.
The emissions from the proposed equipment will not cause or contribute significantly to a violation of the State and National AAQS.
